Description

This is the original cover for "TMWSTW" that was quickly changed as the "man's dress" was thought unsuitable. The cover is worn especially round the edges and to the right centre of the front cover. The vinyl was warped, I have had it professionally de-warped, though there are still signs between 5 and 6 o'clock on side 1. The record is ok on the first track on both sides, with an initial fuzz that fades about halfway thru (listen to video), but thereafter vg+. There are faint surface marks, but the sound is great. The vinyl has also been professionally cleaned. The label also has the misspelling of "Tonny Visconti".
